Dear ALSA developers,
When I compile ALSA's pcm_min.c example with
gcc -Wall -lasound pcm_min.c -o pcm_min
Everything is fine, but running it, I get the white noise as expected,
but I also get this warning/error:
Short write (expected 16384, wrote 7616)
Which comes from the last if-statement.
One bug is in this line
frames = snd_pcm_writei(handle, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
where "sizeof(buffer)" should be "number of frames in the buffer".
But there are still some strange things going on. I still get those
errors, and if I remove the for-loop, nothing is played.
Here is my code. 
Can someone see what's wrong?
